The singer-songwriter and Blur guitarist belts out Elton and karaoke and is a recent Abba convert, but which song does he think would make people hurl at his funeral?

The first song I fell in love with
My dad used to have Beatles evenings that he referred to as Abbey Road Nights. I was only two or three, so I couldn’t read but I could use the record player. Sometimes when I wanted Strawberry Fields Forever, I’d get Turn! Turn! Turn! by Mary Hopkin and wonder why it didn’t sound like the Beatles.

The first single I bought
Roxanne by the Police, from Lion Records in Colchester.
